Dan from arcadeflyers.com emailed me the other day, because he knows I am a Mr. Do! fanatic. He just came across a new licensed Mr. Do! flyer, this one to Associated Lesiure Sales Limited out of the UK. Only, its in a generic Zacarria cabinet…

Best Mr. Do! Conversion Cabinet

That’s my take anyway, best by far. All those ugly wood grain conversions out there, the best of those uglies having that goofy circular sideart decal. To me, this ALS cabinet is the best hands down conversion, if you don’t count other licensed Tehkan Mr. Do! cabinet.

You’ll recognize this Zaccaria cabinet as it was pictured in several flyers for different games including Cat N’ Mouse and Money Money.

I’ve did plenty of Googlin’ on the interwebs back in the day, and I never ran across an instance of this cabinet. If you have seen a photo of, or know someone who owns this Mr. Do!, drop me a line. If you have any definite information on how ALS and their relationship to Zaccaria also leave a comment.

If you are a Zaccaria artwork / cabinet fanatic like me maybe its time to grab a cup of coffee and blow some time browsing through the photo gallery at Zaccaria.org. Thanks again to Dan at ArcadeFlyers.com for sharing.

@francmuz: Thanks for popping by. Was this Mr. Do! really a conversion though? I think by definition, this was a licensed instance of the game. But still puzzling that this UK company didn’t just take on the Zaccaria brand if they were going to use their cabinets.

I have one of these Zaccaria Mr. Do! machines in the UK and always wondered if it was an operator conversion or a manufactured machine. Now the flyer has turned up, I’m guessing it’s the distributor built them from Zaccaria universal cabinets and Universal licensed games. Nice find! Paul.

How did come into possession of this game? What is the story behind it?

But the game is in really good shape. the stickers are faded a bit but im gonna find some new ones and fix it up. What do you think this might be worth just off the top of your head
